Ludlow Race 1 - Farm And Garden Machinery Ltd Heavy Horsepower Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)

ISLAND BRIDGE (3) aims to turn a pair of runner-up efforts into a triumph. Placed second contesting a Leicester maiden hurdle after filling the same spot in a maiden hurdle at this venue last month. May go one better. DOCTOR ON CALL (2) is racing consistently with a win and two placings prior to just missing the frame last time when fourth in a Taunton maiden hurdle a month ago. Managed third at Windsor and second at Fontwell Park prior. Expected to challenge. ASSERTIVE WALK (1) is yet to score in two career starts. Did place both occasions including a second on hurdle debut at Windsor New Years Day. Will be thereabouts.

Having third race start. First race start finished third of 13 runners at Chepstow on November 22 2024 over 3200m, 6 len behind Sinnatra with 71kg at $9. Returned from break made some head-way from midfield; finished second in a small field at Windsor on January 1 over 4400m, 3 len behind Fountains Blenhein carrying 70kg at $7.50.

Recent form hard to fault. Freshened for 34 days. Last start sat on the pace then finished second of 11 runners at this track on January 15 over 4200m, 4.5 len behind Mondoui'boy carrying 74.5kg at $3.30. The start before that; finished second in a small field at Leicester on November 17 over 4100m, slow track; 5 len behind Kicour La carrying 71.5kg at $1.80. Can get off the mark.
